What artist’s portfolio is complete without a careful rendering of one’s footwear? A typical basic art assignment, I found solace and inspiration in my trusted Vasque hiking boots. I chose pen and ink to communicate a sense of time-worn simplicity and utility.

The detailing in this is superb for “Pete’s sake”. ha! Really a very nice piece of work.

Thanks! A lot of memorable miles on them soles, they deserved the treatment!
Nice great detail and its true any artist will most likely have a study of their shoes somewhere in one of their sketchpads ,I remember in my college days I had pages and pages of my trainers in my sketchpad as well as some drawings of my soccar boots
Sweetness! thanks Anita!
I absolutely love the detail in this boot study, fantastic work. They have so much character. Inspired me to do some footwear studies.
Thank you Molly! It’s nice to think that I’m part of the whole RB synergy!
